A TRIBUTE FROM THE PAMUNKEY TRIBE
W. A. Bladby chief of the Pamunkey tribe of In
dams, was at the Capitol yesterday. He brought
up with him from Lester Manor basket filled

tribe ever since Patrick Henry was Governor Of
Virginia to send by their chieft to tho Governor,
once year, and sometimes twice, basket of
game as tribute of affection and regard. Chief
Brady told the Governor that the Indians tried
to kill deer for the Governor, but could not get
good shot at one. The Pamunkey tribe arc the
descendants of the Pamunkey Indians Capt. John
Smith found here at tho settlement of Jamestown.

will be the winners.
The District commissioners say that while
their conference yesterday with commit
tee OF citizens was not conducted as agree,
ably as it might have been, the accounts o.

Mr. RAINEs, in his speech accepting thc

yeniion of New York yesterday, said 1.-The
federal administration has been slow to de
fend itsolf against the battling treachery OF
it's servants of republican fenlty, and has
permitted the inevitable changes ofthe civil
service 10 come by development under its
observation of rascalties or inefliciency
among republican officials" Had he not
been amply justified in saying this-and
there is no good reason why he should have
been, for there was no law nor promise III
